Smell of fuel
Lately I noticed that after each fillup there is the smell of gasoline
in the passenger compartment for a while. What could cause that? I have a '94 Accord LX. Rudy

Check the gas cap: they're designed to vent fumes if the pressure gets too high, but if the spring goes or the vent sticks open, it will leak fumes all the time, especially if the weather is hot. Had the same problem with my '87. New gas cap for about $7 was a simple fix. --- avast! Antivirus: Outbound message clean.
